What Guests Are Saying
Spring Creek offers beautiful campsites close to the lake, with well-maintained facilities and friendly camp hosts, particularly Chuck, who is noted for his professionalism and helpfulness. Many campers appreciate the cleanliness of the restrooms and the quiet atmosphere during designated hours. However, some guests have expressed concerns about noise from other campers and unpleasant smells near the restrooms, as well as the use of gas leaf blowers, which detracts from the natural experience.

Our site was nice and clean. The restrooms were very clean. I would have gave it five stars, except the campers next to us were smoking pot and partying until late into the night. We had younger kids and they had to smell the pot and listen to the cussing nonstop. I was surprised that the host didn't enforce the quite time. I would stay there again. Hopefully we will end with better neighbors.
